Chick-fil-A wants you to put away your cellphone and is offering a free ice cream to anyone able to go the whole meal without picking up their mobile devices.

Called the Cell Phone Coop Challenge, customers get a white box with wire-like designs that holds the whole family's electronics (not chickens), so diners can enjoy their waffle fries without distractions.

Chick-fil-A Tuesday say it's not a nationwide thing yet, but more than 150 locations are already offering the challenge while others are calling up the corporate office "requesting the Cell Phone Coops."

ACLU to file suit on behalf of the "relationship challenged" in 3..2..

Another sign of the nanny state we live in. Fucking Chick-Fil-A trying to show us how to raise our children. They are my god damn kids, if I don't care they sit and stare at their fucking phones instead of talking to their old-as-fuck parents, who is Chick-Fil-A to tell me what to do about it.

Nanny state? It's a privately owned business. Eat there or don't, use your phone or don't.
This isn't like Bloomberg mandating how much soda you can buy.

The first time I ate inside the place, as opposed to drive thru, I was with my kids. We were sitting there like it was a normal, everyday, rude fast food joint when an employee came over.

She refilled our drinks.

At first I thought she was trying to grab our cups and garbage to hurry us out. I could not believe it. The same employees, about 10 minutes later, overheard my daughter asking to try a different dipping sauce for her chicken nugget things. As I stood up to get some she told me not to worry and she brought some over.
